NEET Chemistry Raoult's Law Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The direction of osmosis can be reversed by applying pressure greater than the osmotic pressure on the solution side.
Reason (R): Reverse osmosis involves the flow of solvent from the solution side back to the pure solvent side through a semi-permeable membrane.
Both A and R are true and R explains A.
Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that reverse osmosis occurs when pressure greater than osmotic pressure is applied, causing the solvent to flow back through the membrane.
